I once met a little kid who told me he liked my pair of shoes.
Normally my initial response was a thank you with a huge smile.
As he walked away I looked at his feet.
He had these not-so-new slippers on.
And then I thought ; why don't I give my shoes to him (dude's got a big feet too)

But then another thought retorted : it's expensive, you can't give these.

I laughed, shook my head, called out to him and asked him to pack my pair and take it home.

"huh... Brother... You say? "
He responded stuttering now.

I smiled and responded
" You like 'em so you can have' em"

He was quite hesitant at first but yes, I could see the joy enshroud him as his countenance had changed.

It wasn't like I had lots of those nice pairs or anything but I knew there is a need to make others smile because the things we have that we may not place so much value on, are the same things others scribble down in their prayer list.

The essence of this piece however isn't for self gratification or vain glory,
Rather that someone out there may be inspired.


Sometimes it's imperative to find a human need and meet it in your own little way.

Look in that wardrobe and give out that nice pajamas, tuxedos or even pants stuffed up in your drawers.

Giving really is letting go of your best.

I love you isn't complete without giving-that's the real humanity you know.

That is love

May God bless you enough and completely, Max.

Very good that you know and practice this rear and true kind of love and are encouraging Nlanders to do same.

Love should be for the sake of itself and not preconditioned on anything as humans do these days.
